Does Lush Rimshot even think about the logic of the crap he spews.

Oh sorry, I guess that's a rhetorical question.

I was visiting another site and saw this:
Portland Moms and Vets are Actors, Not Real Citizens

So obviously this a page out of Infowars, so no points for originality, but a couple more important points.
1) Ronald Reagan was an actor, does that make him not a real citizen?
2) Donald trumps only real success was as an actor in a "reality TV series."

The poor grammatical construct could be open to lots of interpretations, but one obvious conclusion is that actors who are paid to perform a role are not "real citizens." Wouldn't that imply that Donald trump was ensconced as President illegally. You have to be a native born citizen to be president, and apparently actors aren't even real citizens.

He came right out and told the audience that he'll say whatever is necessary to keep his listeners and advertisers happy. Content be damned. The advertisers are happy not only because he brings them profits but even Limbaugh's adversaries help to promote him by exclaiming "Did you hear what Rush said today?!" They pollinate as much as the Dittoheads.

But a logical interpretation of what he said is that trump actually is an illegal President.

The truth has no bearing on what he says. There is zero chance that he believes half of what he says.

I know ages range from teens to golden years, but I'm still surprised how many people think Rush and the others believe much of anything they say. Rush was once a mildly-talented/humorous radio host who came up with this schtick of doing parody and attacking chraracatures of "liberals" and "liberal causes" which his listeners enjoyed. But people began to take him seriously, pretending he was some deep thinker when he was just mostly beating straw men with boorishness and hatefulness. It went to his head, and after 30 years, he has nothing new and the same old routine.
